Request: #231955 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Whitmore Lake • State: Michigan • Zip Code: 48189 • County: Livingston • Submitted By: FAKS (Foster Care, Adoption, and Kinship Services)

Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

A single father is working hard to provide a safe and loving home for his twin toddlers, but right now, his family is missing some essential items that would make a world of difference. He is in urgent need of two infant beds so his little ones can sleep comfortably and securely. Unfortunately, LACASA Collection does not have any available at this time. Additionally, he would love to have a table and chairs for four so that his family can gather, share meals, and create lasting memories together. At the moment, they have nowhere to sit and connect over dinner, which makes family time challenging. These items would bring warmth, stability, and a sense of togetherness to their home. Any help in providing them would be deeply appreciated.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

ChatGPT said: Two weeks ago, a sweet nine-year-old girl’s life changed drastically when she witnessed her mother’s arrest and was removed from her home. Confused and heartbroken, she cried for her mom and was placed with a close family friend—her boxing coach—with nothing but the clothes on her back. Though she’s adjusting and remains a bright ray of sunshine, she continues to ask for her mom and worries about what they’ve lost.

She’s currently in elementary school and finds comfort in boxing, her favorite hobby. She travels to competitions, and it provides much-needed stability during this difficult time. Her most urgent needs are clothing and hygiene products. She wears girls' size 10/12 in shirts, jackets, pants, and spandex shorts, and girls' medium in socks, sports bras, and underwear. She also needs deodorant, shampoo, and body soap suitable for very sensitive skin (non-perfumed).

We’ve helped her get a few outfits, but she still needs more to finish the school year and enjoy her summer. She would be especially grateful for new tank tops, sport shorts, and hair ties to take with her to her next boxing competition in California this weekend. Any support would mean the world to her during this challenging time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have a family that consists of a single mother and 3 children. The mother works hard to provide for her children. The mother was able to secure a bunkbed bed frame for her children, but she is currently unable to purchase the mattresses. The children are in need of a full-size mattress and a twin-size mattress. By fulfilling this request, it will take some of the stress off of the mother and provide the children with safe and comfortable beds.

Recently a relative took in her two nephews who were homeless. The aunt just purchased a futon bed to accommodate them but then her stove went out. This relative has been using a grill outside or a portable single burner stove inside the home to cook meals for the new children in her home in addition to her biological children and does not have extra money to replace her stove.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

A community serving agency is in need of support for assisting in keeping families safe, when home is no longer safe, typically due to domestic violence situations. Often it is a quick decision that has to be made immediately, often late at night and when most shelters are full. I would love to prepare them for when things do happen, they are ready and have some support. Thanks in advance for helping!!
